A blog for all seasons; A blog for one; A blog for all. As the 11th most informative blog on the planet, I have a seared memory of throwing my Time 2006 Man of the Year Award over the railing at Time Warner Center.
Justice. Only Justice Shall Thou Pursue

The state workforce is higher than when he originally took office, even if he claims that he's cut it down from inflated numbers of a year or two ago.

The state's economy situation is worse than when he took over.

The pension timebomb is even worse now; particularly when Corzine repeatedly called on municipalities to skip pension payments to avoid hiking taxes to cover their obligations.

Corruption is as rampant now as ever.

If it's about the economy, why is it that Corzine is doing everything but talking about what he's done to improve it? That answer is self-evident. He's raised taxes and made the state's tax burden even higher than when he took office. Businesses are less likely to come to New Jersey because of the tax burden (except when they're relocating from New York City where the burden is higher still). Taxpayers are fleeing the state in droves, increasing the per capita tax burden on those that remain.

And on that note, Christie must do a much better job explaining what he will do to improve the economy - and taking Corzine and Trenton to task for unconscionable state spending at a time when revenues simply can't work.
